The Cambridgeshire Cycle Map has an abundance of cycle routes outside of the city centre boundaries, making destinations beyond Cambridge easily accessible.

National and local routes take cyclists to historic towns and villages, stunning nature reserves and delectable eateries.

Cyclists are spoilt for choice. Why not follow the Tour de France route from Parkers Piece to the historical village of Grantchester, cycle the 37-mile Cambridge-Saffron Walden loop or enjoy one of the National Trust cycling trails?

Whether you explore Cambridge by foot or cycle, the College Backs are an absolute must. The Backs is an area of picturesque land that runs between the River Cam and riverside University of Cambridge Colleges, covering both sides of the banks.

After a day of cycling, take a well-deserved pitstop at one of Cambridge’s delicious places to eat and drink.

The beautiful Orchard Tea Garden in Grantchester is the perfect spot to enjoy home-made scones smothered in cream and jam, whilst surrounded by fruit trees and the River Cam.
